Ubisoft has announced that Riders Republic can now be played for free from Thursday February 10th, 2022, to Monday February 14th, 2022 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.
As well as this exciting news, the studio has revealed that they are working with famous and beloved Italian brand, Prada, to bring the iconic red stripe collection, Prada Linea Rossa, to Riders Republic’s outdoor sports playground.
Beginning today, players are able to explore parts of the Riders Ridge social hub, which is decorated with the colours of Prada Linea Rossa, as they are immersed in a thrilling experience.
Combining ideas collected from the world of technical sportswear with streamlined silhouettes, Prada Linea Rossa redefines the idea of what modern luxury can be. Liberal, flexible high-performance designs are always the focus; it defines a new urban uniform centered on movement.
This exciting new collaboration offers unique activities as well as cosmetics, including:
- A new event, Prada Beyond the Line will be playable alone or against friends; this event is a creative new take of one of the most epic snow parks of the Republic. Players can use the Faction x Prada Linea Rossa skis, as well as the Riders Republic jumbo bike and brand new freestyle snowmobile - for free.
- An original in-game outfit designed exclusively by Prada for Riders Republic is also available; players can unlock the outfit by competing in the Shackdaddy Bandits weekly challenges.
- A new Prada sponsor program, featuring new gear such as a bike, skis, snowboard and two additional original Prada outfits (available February 16th).

Lorenzo Bertelli, the Prada Group Marketing Director & Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, stated that ‘‘We are excited to partner with such a creative company like Ubisoft to offer our own interpretation of the gaming world. Riders Republic is about outdoor sports and performance - the perfect match with the Linea Rossa collection and its DNA.
“Technology and innovation have always been a natural part of Prada,” Bertelli continued, “so we will continue to explore new scenarios whenever interesting opportunities for the brand arise to build original and authentic experiences.’’
“We are thrilled to have been given the opportunity to work with Prada to design original sports outfits and gear under their Linea Rossa collection and bring them to Riders Republic” said Arnaud Ragot, Game Director at Ubisoft Annecy.
“We thrive to offer our players a rich and diversified experience in the game and look forward to hearing what they have to say about this exciting new content and original in-game collection,” ended Ragot.
Riders Republic’s free weekend begins on February 10th, 2022, and will end on February 14th, 2022; all players will have full access to the base game’s content during the duration of the free weekend.
